I think the list is broken. The archives haven't received anything
since Feb. 2008... http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linuxtv-commits/
I also signed up but haven't receive emails from anything you merged a
few hours ago.

Ok, we need some list that is open to everyone and gets a majority of
the patches. If linuxtv-commits gets fixed up that might work.

I am just concerned about the v4l-dvb-maintainers list being too private
and private trees not getting enough review before going into mainline.
linuxtv-commits may help.
